mclcreate mobilised its teams and inventory across the country to design, source and install state-of-the-art sound and lighting fit to impress the tech-savvy attendees. Logistical support and supplier handling was also managed by mclcreate, who provided a 5-strong team of account and project managers, alongside 55 onsite technical crew.

Tim Spencer, managing director at mclcreate, said:

“This was a remarkable event on many levels. The combination of live engagement and online streaming was particularly exciting, and points to the future of events."

“Some of these gamers are only 10 to 16 years old but they demand the spectacular! So we had to push the boat out with really slick technology and production.”

The company handled lighting the main features in the expo that sprawled over 18 halls at the London exhibition centre.

They also assembled a 10,000-seater main stage area, two 1,000-seater stages and two 500-seater stages alongside the tournament stage and raised studio.

Signalling the start of this year’s Edinburgh International Festival, the Standard Life Opening Event: Bloom, will transform Edinburgh’s St Andrew Square with projection mapping, animation and a newly commissioned musical score.
